About
Neighborhood Church Upward Winter Basketball League offers a winter basketball league where kids play basketball in mixed boys and girls divisions. The program includes Sunday open gym time so players can practice a skill with their parent. Player evaluations are used to put together balanced teams, and each weekly practice includes listed skills and devotionals, supported by program materials with videos.
